THE STORY ABOUT US

“We create products that we wish existed,explore new territories and dedicate our work to imagination with a human-centered approach,as we believe that fashion has an added value to the world, apart from aesthetics.“ Cristina DanPrincipal & Founder

Solve is a Romanian-Danish design studio of innovation in sustainable fashion. We create products that we wish existed, explore new territories and dedicate our work to imagination with a human-centered approach, as we believe that fashion has an added value to the world, apart from aesthetics.

Behind the studio is Cristina Dan, a contextual fashion designer trained at VIA Design University in Denmark with a background also in Circular Economy and Biomimicry. Four years ago, while searching on how to create more value with the conventional clothing that she was making, Cristina decided to embark on a long and exciting design journey. It would lead her to discover her next big passion - sustainability and the great value that it brings to everyone: people, planet and products.

​As a result, Cristina developed a multidisciplinary approach towards design. Therefore, we work with design thinking, a user-centered approach, circular economy and biomimicry to develop sustainable innovations. ​Our philosophy is simple. We design with the intention of beauty, circularity and value.

​We love our planet so we create circular fashion, which means that all our clothing returns safely into the ecosystem at the end of its life cycle. Responsibility is of the essence to us, therefore we trace our product's life from the raw material to its last day of use. Hence, we design, source and produce with a circular mind-set and healthy ethics in mind.​​SOLVE is a proud member of Textile Association and the Danish initiative Sylab.
